Whats you goin to do with it Tony? :)

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

Well after several years of design. I'm finally getting my retracts
for the Long Ez off to the machine shop, now that I've settled on
the design. I used Pazmany's calculations for loads, deflection,
T.O.A. and scrubbing. With a little help from Robbie at Grove. I
was able to come up with a suitable gear leg. think, 1975 Cessna
210 meets 1990 182 RG with only 90 deg of rotation. Not entirely
based around an antiquated hydraulic system.
(in my opinion only ). I was going to use the rulon or torlon
whichever! (depending on properties) for the outer trunion arm.
I noticed Dave R. used bronze bushing for the berkut gear. I may
go that route.

Properly sized I think Torlon rollers would cut the
HP required to retract the gear.

BTW Tony Please set the word wrap in your email program to about
80 characters. I have to spend time doing it manually.
